Athletico Paranaense take on the visitors Libertad Asuncion in the first leg of the round of last 16 match of Copa Libertadores. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 29th at Arena da Baixada (Curitiba)
Atlético Paranaense have been in good shape this season. "Hurricane" has already accustomed to the fact that he is more successful in the international arena. Brazilians in 2018 and even 2021 were winners of the Cope Sudamericana. It is noteworthy that just in the current draw in Brasileirao they manage to stay in the group of leaders - yes, lower than Palmeiras and Corinthians, but within the framework of the "second tier" of Serie A. By the way, so far the gap from the favorites is not hopeless, everything can be compensated for in a couple of successful rounds. At the same time, they took 10 points in the Copa Libertadores - this was enough to proceed to the playoffs of the most prestigious tournament.

Libertad (Asuncion) have a very convincing season. "Los Repolleros" is one of the strongest clubs in Paraguay. Moreover, a considerable part of their titles turned out to be won just in the 21st century. Including the team was the best in the country in Apertura last year. And now it is quite confidently leading in the current Primera. In parallel, the club was able to confidently pass the group round of the Copa Libertadores. There they played in the same quartet with the Brazilians. And scored the same 10 points as Athletico Paranaense. Moreover, according to additional indicators, they even managed to reach the 1st place - only by 1 goal, there was a better goal difference. But, ironically, all the same, the lot decreed that in the very first round of the playoffs, these well-known opponents will play each other again!
In the group round of this draw, the clubs exchanged home victories. Before that, they only met once, in 2005, and then both times Atlético Paranaense were able to win. Libertad is not bad, but still Atletico Paranaense plays at home, and they are good there. We recommend betting that the Brazilians will win in their own arena.
Prediction for the match: Athletico Paranaense to win.
